General Donaidson's Fortunate Mis-.
take.

From the Century we quote the fol-
lowing war anecdote. by K. II. Eddy:
Prior to the battle of Nashville, Major
General James L. Donaldson (who won
honors in the Mexican war, and who
died in the spring of 1866, was quar-
termaster under General Thomas. He
once told me the following incident:
Having occasion to purchase mules
for the army, he ordered a person in
whom he had confidence to visit the
contiguous Northern States, inadver-
tently saying to him, BUY rs many as
you can, not supposing he would be
able to secure more than few thousand
at the most. Some weeks afterward,
just before the attack upon Hoods
army, General Donaldson, on meeting
his agent, inquired how many mules he
had been able to secure. To the
amazement of the general, he was in
formed that ttcentu thousand or more
had been obtained Upon which the
general exclaimed Il am a ruined man!
| shall be court-martialed and driven
from the army for not limiting you in the
purchase. You have procured many
times more than had any idea or in
tention of purchasing; but the fault is
mine, not yours. I ought to have
been particular in my order" In an
extremely disheartened state he went
to his home, believing that such a
thoughtless act on his part could not
be overlooked by the commanding
general.
He had scarcely reached his house
before messenger came from General
Thomas with an order for General
Donaldson to come Immediately to
headquarters. This seemed to be the
sealinglof his fate, and in state of
trepidahon bordering on frenzy he
appeared before Gen Thomas, whom
he found in mood, apparently of
great depression. Soon after Donald
son had entered his presence General
Thomas said, donaldson, how many
mules have you?' With some pertur-
baton he replied, Upwards of twenty
five thousand" 'Ttcenty-fUe thousand,
did you say?" repeated the general.
rs it possible that you have thi.
number? Donaldson, accept my most
heartfelt thanks; you hare saUed this
arnyi / can now have transportation
and can fight Hood, and will do so at
once"

A useful arrangement, common in
many sections, for the ventilation of
stacks and mows in barns is also appli-
cable 10 the curing Of fod Ter. Fig.
shows a frame made of strips of wood,
put together with small carriage bolts
The length of the section is three or four
feet. Fig. illustrates the manner in
which the sections are put together. A
small stack may have column of these
ventlators in the center; large one may
have three or four of them; in w in
the barn there may be as many as are use
full, two or three or more, as the case
may be.
In stacking fodder corn it is safest to
make the stacks small. Three of these
sections placed together in n column (as
seen in Fig. p are sufficient for a stack
containing three tons Of fodder, and which
would be about fourteen feet high. The
sheaves should be small and the stack
somewhat open at the bottom, so as to
freely admit currents of air. The top of
the stack may be finished off with straw
or a hay cap.
OF the hundreds of leaks ON every farm
but few, if any, are more damaging than
a leaky stable floor. Have the floor tight,
and some kind of absorbent ON it to take
up and hold the liquid manure. This is
for men who have no cellar.

WE are informed that some insurance
companies are resisting payment of
their policies on ground of fraud. In
the opinion of your committee the re-
peal of the law relating to death by
suicide, at the last session, does not bind
this Order TX. of H.) to payment of
death claim when it appears that mem
bership was obtained with the intention
of afterwards committing suicide; and
in our opinion, membership thus
obtained is as much fraud as misstate-
ments, or willful omissions in or from
the application. We recommend that
the action of the Supreme Dictator in
Withholding payment of this claim be
approved, and we recommend that it be
recommitted to him with full discretion
to pay or resist, rs future developments
of facts may determine.
1t will be seen from the above that
misstatements or willful omissions in or
from the application are held to be
fraud, and that if such are proved bene-
fciaries cannot recover. The great insur-
ance case Dwight was decided against
the claimants because it was clearly
shown that the applicants had answered
falsely to one of the questions.-W. IL.
